Good Juice - Low, Low Price

Not wanting to share any of my good whiskey with people that wouldn't appreciate it, I set out a couple weeks ago to pick up something cheap for a party. Generally I would have reached for a bottle of Evan Williams, but by chance I decided on Virgin 101 for $10. Wow. In my opinion this stuff beats most bottles under $40. Evidently I'm not alone either. Jim Murray rated it as the top bourbon under 9 years old (http://www.scotch-tasting-bums.com/Blog,_Year_2/Entries/2011/10/26_2012_Whisky_Bible_Awards.html). It may not impress you as much as it impressed me, but for $10 how can you go wrong? The one catch: it only appears to be available in a few states (including AL and NC).

There are several really good options under $20. Start with VOB, AAA 10YO, OWA 107, Old Ezra 101, Fighting Cock, and OGD BIB. My usual favorite is the Weller Antique but on any given day, they are all just delicious.

If God made anything better than bourbon he must have kept it for Hisself.

VOB is a good pick here. I just opened a bottle, having only sampled before at the distillery. On a night I'm battling a bad cold with a swollen throat, it meets the approval of whatever taste buds are functioning.
